9 thoughts about the manual 2023 BMW M2
coupe that has 20 extra ponies. It's brilliantly slick in its refinement, though interestingly, boost doesn't come on quite as immediately as some of BMW's less potent sixes. That lends a bit of visceralness to it. It has a bass-y, slightly blatty exhaust note, which can be quieted down at the press of a button. It's good, though the crisper howl from say, the Toyota Supra, is more pleasing to my ears. Just as good as the engine is the chassis.
tweaks, it's comparatively wiggly, particularly on bumpy pavement. One could argue that's more fun, but for sheer confidence and speed, the M2 is the place to be.The steering is fast, and it is accurate. But it is also horribly numb. Which, like the last two points, is unfortunately a hallmark of BMWs. It's so bizarre when the chassis is extremely talkative. It's a good thing, too, since it almost makes up for the numb steering.
would help a lot. But I still would prefer the regular 2 Series models as far as looks are concerned. I do like those massive fenders, though.Performance car buyers, obviously, like performance, and getting as much of it as possible. As such, the Carbon Package, which goes for a substantial $9,900, will probably be tempting. But don't jump on it before thinking about it, and probably more importantly, sampling the carbon-fiber bucket seats it comes with.
The other reason to think twice about the Carbon Package is that the rest of the features are available separately, for a fair bit less. So you're mainly paying for those seats. Theinterior trim is $800, the carbon roof is $2,600, and the M Driver's Package, which is a one-day driving track driving school, is $2,500. If you don't need the seats, it's much better to go a la carte, even more so if there's one or two of those other package features you can do without.
Before you have your favorite settings dialed in, you probably will be spending a lengthy session deciphering how each setting differs. I certainly did, bouncing between each variable alone, applying the scientific method to figure out what changed and what I liked. I preferred to always have steering and brakes in sport mode. The added weight to both was far from oppressive, and it felt far more natural and connected to what the car was doing.
